torbjorn in town - went to cars and coffee - flash - 04-04-2010
i had a swedish visitor today - we met up at the local cars and coffee event - had a great time - enjoyed talking with him - i look forward to more of the same, and hopefully hearing more about his racing here on the site - he's having way too much fun
here are a few pics of some really interesting cars we saw (not 968s or even porsches, though there were plenty of 993TTs and GT-3s to go around))
incredibly rare here
this is for you jay
gotta love the suicide door lincoln
2 cylinders - amazing
interesting C5 body kit
3 liters - old school
simply fast while sitting still
classic confrontation
TT-Tii

Other than the Avanti, great cars. Love the Lincoln, I have always wanted one. Black/black of course.
Nice 2002.
And I have always loved the Cortina.

I didn't know the Cortina was sold in the US. Did you guys also get the Lotus Cortina?
torbjorn in town - went to cars and coffee - Chris Vais - 04-04-2010
We did indeed get the Lotus Cortina. A friend of mine owned one and that car was fun drive and deceptively fast. we took down our share of large American V-8s. They were also extensively raced here. I have photograph of Graham Hill driving a Cortina at Laguna Seca in 1964. Coming through turn 7 he has the inside front wheel of the track.
There have been at least two that have turned up for sale on Bringatrailer.com.
In fact, for those of you who don't know about it. If you sign up for Bring A Trailer's daily email you get an email every day with one or more interesting cars that are current for sale. It is as addictive as crack cocaine. First email I open every day.

yeah - brought back memories for me too - there was one of those running back when i was driving in the early 80s
i'd sure like to drive that TT-Tii though

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the recommendation on http://bringatrailer.com. Really enjoyed looking through it.
Need to get to coffee and cars again also, just a great place to see remarkable examples, great time of day also.

Thanks for bringing me :-). Great little event. Better than most commercial car shows... at least in a little country up North. See you in the afternoon!

torbjorn popped by the house yesterday - while he was here he had the distinct pleasure of experiencing his first california earthquake - it was a nice little 6.9 very long rolling one - it went so long we had time to discuss it, and decide whether or not to move outside, as we were watching the cars in the culdesac dance around and could actually see the buildings sway
who says i don't pull out all the stops when guests arrive? i'll move the earth to make their experience complete

Hey, you only had a 3.3 for me last year...I guess the further one travels the more of a show you put on...
Seriously, glad that we are able to kid about it, that is a major quakes but seems to have caused very little damage (at least being reported on the TV)

That looks like my old Lincoln ! I had a 65 Hard Top. Loved that car. Wished I kept that car to restore. Great pics. Lots of interesting stuff. Hope all is well there. Never experienced an earthquake
